If I heard one complaint while we were traveling, it was that we spent quite a bit of time on a bus. While this was true, I’m not sure how Viking could have gotten around this. Some things are simply out of their control. They are not able to alter river levels. If a river is too high or too low for the ship to navigate, they have to handle the situation in the best way possible. They do this by putting guests on a comfortable bus and creating a new experience for them.
If a destination guests want to see is not right on the river, the company has to transport them somehow, and a comfy bus is the best solution. Spending time on a bus may not be ideal, but Viking makes the most of the situation by giving you excellent guides to explain what you are seeing along the way, and adding to your travel experience in ways you may not have anticipated.
We had a Great Experience on our Viking River Cruise
Even though it is not our typical way to travel, we had a great time on our cruise through Eastern Europe. Viking does an amazing job and we learned a lot on this journey. It was also fun to meet the other guests, share stories, and get to know other culturally curious travelers. We even met a woman who went to high school with my brother, and a man with the same name as Greg’s dad. We loved getting to know the couple from New York we shared most of our dinners with, and another couple from Madison, Wisconsin, where our daughter is moving soon. The ladies from New Orleans were delightful. Meeting new people and sharing the adventure is part of the fun.
If you would like to experience Europe or other worldwide destinations while cruising in comfort, and learning about the history and culture along the way, I can highly recommend Viking.
If you are interested in a Viking cruise, I would love to discuss the many options with you and help you plan an amazing trip! Whereas Euro Travel Coach does not make decisions based on earning a commission when we do our custom itinerary planning, we do earn a commission if we book a cruise for you. That said, it doesn’t cost you any more than if you book online yourself. You can talk to me about all the different options and choices you have available, and if I have access to a promotion at the time, I will do my best to make sure you can take advantage of it. So please, if you’re interested in a Viking Cruise, contact me! I would love to help!
